May round up
June 23rd, 2010May was a very quite month for APIU due to other projects taking up a lot of our time in particular the Willow Court Committee. Three members of APIU are on the Willow Court Committee Nick Jarvis, Aiden Sullivan and Glenn Hevey. A lot of our time was taken up with the recent Tasmanian Heritage Festivals- Willow Court Open Day 29-30 May 2010.
All three of us attended the event both days and undertook varied roles throughout the day.
It was pleasing to note that we had a quite a few comments left for ghost tours which were rally encouraging.
APIU are currently following up with DVC to get approval to create a Willow Court Doco centred on paranormal and history which will be launched and aired at the Inaugural Spring Festival in October
More info as it comes to hand.

Private Willow Court Investigation 12/3/10
March 16th, 2010Hi
As you are well aware we had another private Willow Court Investigation last Friday night. Both our new Investigators in Training Chris and Shane came to the investigation.
Currently we are all analysing our evidence and hopefully we will have that collated by next week.
We will be posting evidence on the website, so stay tuned.

APIU Conducting a Possible Night Tour of the Barracks
February 4th, 2010
We have raised the idea of a night tour during this Heritage Tas Festival in May and we have had one Councillor already support this idea and willing to follow up. Things are looking quite positive, now we need to work out the finer details.
If this goes ahead it could open some very big doors and opportunities for APIU
Any ideas on how it should be run ???

APIU & TEAM STRIGOI COLLABIRATE
January 11th, 2010APIU Co-founders Nick Jarvis and Aiden Sullivan met with Team Members Drew, Mike and Justin from Team Strigoi who are a Launceston based paranormal team on Saturday night to explore and investigate Willow Court and Royal Derwent Hospital.
The night started around 8:00pm where we met with Team Strigoi and Bridgewater McDonald’s to escort them to New Norfolk and Willow Court. We parked at the Willow Court Motel and Nick Jarvis spoke with the private owner Haydn Pearce who allowed us access to his buildings which was a real bonus, because we hadn’t planned to explore these Wards.
After getting the keys we decided to tour Team Strigoi through the nurse’s cottage and shortly after J Ward. It was near dark when we went into Lyprenny to have a look around.
After exiting Lyprenny we took Strigoi down and showed them the rear of Admin building, Barracks, Bronte and Ward C. As we stood there by the fence at the rear of Admin, the new owner Mario came out to investigate who we were and what we were doing. We spoke to Mario for a bit and he informed us that he plans to use the bulk of the building for a private residence and hire the hall/stage area for public functions.
Our next move was to return the keys to Haydn then tour team Strigoi around the Council owned buildings on Willow Court then over to the privately owned Royal Derwent Hospital.
During the course of the night both APIU and Team Strigoi was conducting investigations in the various wards that we were exploring at the time. It was a good opportunity for APIU to test out some new equipment that had been purchased recently.
At around 1:30pm whilst in Lyprenny we decided to call it a night. Team Strigoi planned to stay there until morning the drive back up to Launceston.
It was a great night and APIU made some handy contacts especially with Investigations in Northern Tasmania. APIU stated that they were happy to invite Team Strigoi back to Willow Court when we have planned an official Investigation Organised. Team Strigoi stated that they would also extend and invite to an Entally House Investigation.
Hopefully over the next few days we will go through the footage and recordings that were collected. We will post any paranormal findings on the website.
Here is the evidence caught on Aiden’s mini dv camera.

Set Back for Ward C Investigation
January 5th, 2010The Derwent Valley Council has stated that we need minimum insurance requirements for the utilization of this site are as follows.
Plant and Equipment insurance, Workers Compensation Insurance, Public Liability Insurance to a minimum of 10 million, Professional Indemnity Insurance.
We would also require an Occupational Health and Safety Strategy (Risk Management Plan) and a Site Security Plan.
A bit disspointing considering we have been allowed access into several National Trust buildings and other private buildings without all the insurance etc.
